Journeyman is growing...and growing fast. Last fall, we opened our ambitious second property, a 130,000 square foot craft beverage and hospitality space in Valparaiso, IN, to compliment our flagship location in Three Oaks, MI. Across these properties, we are operating distilleries, breweries, full-service restaurants, private events spaces, tours, public entertainment, and more. At the same time, our spirits distribution reach continues to grow across the nation and the world. We've got a lot to say and wonderful stories intertwined within our messages.
